AFC North Conference - Pittsburgh Steelers PreviewThe Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl after making the playoffs as a wild card last year. We see them winning the division this year though, especially with QB Ben Roethlisberger seemingly fully recovered from his motorcycle accident. Big Ben will almost certainly be ready for opening week, which is welcome news for Pittsburgh considering his 26-3 career record as an NFL starting quarterback! Also for all of the hoopla surrounding the retirement of Jerome Bettis after the Super Bowl, in actuality that he will not be missed at all on the field. He had already lost his job as the starting running back to the mercurial Willie Parker, and a healthy Duce Staley is a nice replacement for Bettis as the goal line back.Click for football betting odds for pro and college football! The Steelers also reloaded at wide receiver, selecting Santonio Holmes out of Ohio State in the first round of the draft to fill the spot of departed free agent Antwaan Randel El. Finally the offensive line is still one of the best in the NFL. Defense has always been a strong suit for Pittsburgh, and that unit ranked 5th in the NFL last year. Nobody was able to run on the Steelers all season as they allowed only 86.0 rushing yards per game. Check out BOVADA and start winning NOW!

The pass defense was not too shabby either, and the fact that Pittsburgh blitzes at virtually every opportunity makes this one of the most intimidating defenses in all of football. It is really difficult to find any holes in any aspect of this team, and we feel the end result will be a playoff rematch with Indianapolis in the AFC Championship Game. This time however we look for the Pittsburgh Steelers to enter that contest as AFC North division champs. Prediction for 2006: 1st Place AFC North, AFC Championship Game Runner-up After predicting multiple Super Bowl winners, expert NFL handicapper Mike "The Picker" Jones has returned with his 2012 Super Bowl XLVI prediction! His early Superbowl prediction was the New York Jets but after them falling apart towards the end of the regular season and missing out on the NFL playoffs, Mike now is going with the Patriots to win Superbowl XLVI. "I predict the AFC East New England Patriots will take down NFC powerhouse New York Giants by four points in the 2012 Super Bowl!" Good luck with all your 2012 NFL picks and have fun with a few Super Bowl prop bets at SBG Global Sportsbook, the world-wide leaders of online gambling! Super Bowl XLVI Picks from JP - The New England Patriots and the New York Giants will meet once again in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5th at 6:30pm ET in a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl. The rematch will go down at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where the Patriots will take the field as 3-point favorites over the New York Giants, but I have it going the other way. I think New York's defensive front will use the turf to its advantage and will get to Tom Brady enough times with their ferocious pass rush, while Eli Manning will slice up the Patriots' secondary, which will lead them to stop the Patriots at the finish line. The Pats may be the better team, but the Giants are the hotter club and that will translate onto the field on Super Sunday. --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on September 08, 2006
